Dato,Aspan Alias and you can make a difference and both your presence will be felt in the DAP and Pakatan Rakyat.The rakyat will support the both of you.My money will be on that many Malays will follow the both of you into the DAP.Go for it and good luck.

UMNO became rotten and poisonous to the Malay people quite early in its existence, to be exact a few years after 87 when it became the enemy of the Malay rulers and destroyer of the "constitutional Monarchy" principle that was the cornerstone of this nation. UMNO further became toxic when TDM with full acquiescence from UMNO leadership and grass root, turned UMNO into a "munafik" party when it officially rob and "UMNOnised" the oil royalty that rightfully belong to the Trg State government and its people. In fact the letter "M" in UMNO does not represent Malay, it only represent the word MY, MINE and the most appropriate word at present, MARAUDER. Malay is but a veil to the true nature of UMNO. And true to its nature as a marauder and predator, it will never feel it owes any debt of gratitude to the Malay people, ever!

I trust that you will work together with YB Liew Chin Tong to let the Malays know that the DAP is a SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC political party that will be fair to all Malaysians, irrespective of their ethnicity.

Just ignore the vicious attacks that will be pouring forth from the fascists and ultranationalists.

Together, the moderate and decent Malaysians of goodwill (the vast majority) will work together to bring to an end the ruling UMNO/BN kleptocracy that is threatening to turn Malaysia intoa sub-Saharan Africa-style "failed state".

Dato,the Umno paid bloggers and cyber troppers are panicking.So are the Umnoputras.They are very scared.Must be wetting their pants.Couldn't get to the restrooms in a hurry.Dr Mahathir must be laughing out loud at the stupid Umnoputras.

The reason that there is so much buzz over the net is the Umnoputras felt checkmated.Soon your blog will be overwhelmed with anon critics.Do be prepared for abusive and vulgar languages.Cheers,relax and sleep easy.

I believe what AK47 says is his true intent. By reading his blog, you will know what kind of person he is. I didn't know that the ruling party still has righteous people in it. I guess I was wrong. It would be good if his actions would lead to the awakening of the righteous and do what is right for the nation.

Your joining DAP would put your own statement that there is no need for Malays to fear DAP or that DAP is not racist,to rest.

Whether we care to admit it or not, we know from records that DAP,as a political party, is the most equitable party in Malaysia.It is DAP that is the frequent victim of the other racist political parties.

all malaysians n malays should not fear DAP/ no reason to fear DAP as they are fighting for justice for all< LKS N LGE weny to jail under ISA etc, we malaysians should fear corruption, poverty, cronyism n all the plunderers n thieves in the coalition, see cows missing n billions missing/ see poverty everywhere here>> why>>> see millions illegals on our shores ?? we should fear these mess n nonsense created by the coalition>> 407 billions in national debts as in AG report?? how to repay >> bankrupt soon- poor economic growth and an impending recession coming. singapore is getting ready to face the recession as reported in the papers?? what are our jokers doing>> nothing?? our nation is voted 4th most corrupt nation>> plunderers every where- we should fear them n kick them out???dont you agree??

From what I can see, DAP is full of professional and young blood joining them and hence the logical/reasoning way they do things or talk. You can see the result by judging the improvement done in Penang and comparing it with other states. Everything improved.As for PKR, it has potential, just that it will take time for it to reform itself as it has a mixed of ex from the ruling party and new generation of young leaders. The leadership of DSAI's daughter has strong potential. His daugher belong to the younger generation which uses logic/reasoning to discuss things whereas this is the opposite in the ruling party which doesn't reason with you. What they say is what it is whether it is logically or not. The ruling leaderships is consist mostly of elderly people and they do things based on the ways their predecessor did and the young people who joined them behaved like them because it sort of become a trend to behave in such a way. So the whole party is trapped in a vicious ageing cycle which can't regenerate itself. Even if young people joined, it still won't matters as it is trapped. There are examples. Look at the way the young people in the ruling did, like the case of Adam Adli and the so called panglima perang ludah. Tell me, does the panglima perang ludah behaved like a person who think logically? As for KJ, it isn't that he doesn't know how to think, just that he is trapped in a party which has such practice that he must follow. As for PAS, it is modernising itself. Based on these factors, I can say the opposition is a formidable opponent and growing in strength. It has professional and young blood flowing into it.These make a powerful combination.In history, there's no govt in the world that doesn't fall when it get too corrupted. It is just like a catapult. If you keep on pulling it, the rubber becomes much tighter and it will come to a stage where the opposing force is so strong that it will flung all the way to the opposite side.

There are only two type of species in Umno. One is the wealth seekers and the other is the 'lembus' who are always led and subservient to the corrupt wealth seekers. Umno bloggers are a hybrid of these two species.

Those malays who are not of these two species should quickly abandon Umno. Join any party as long as it is not Ummo. It is for your health, both in this world and in the hereafter. In the hereafter you would be asked why you are with a band of thieves and plunderers who stole rakyat's money. What answer could you give to your Maker.

Errr, you mean you are not in DAP yet? Still sayangkan UMNO despite bad-mouthing it for years?I missed yesterday's posting to wish you all the luck in the world. Also my heartfelt congrats for choosing the right party.PAS does not become you, and the Bontot party is irrelevent after Jan 9.Have been saying it many times before that fat sod Petra said it.Bro, please be bold enough to statecategorically that you are now a card-carrying DAP member.That Ku Li is in too.As I told Aspan, you guys should hold a joint press conference in the prescence of LKS and other DAP top gun.It's a coup, a cause for celebration for DAP. You are a cause celebre here too.UMNO and you share mutual feelings. You hate them and they are not bothered whether you are still a member or not. They will not sack you. They want you to announce you are quitting with much pleasure.Yes indeed, You rasa you tak ada terhutang budi kepada UMNO.You rasa jawatan ADUN sepenggal yang diberikan kepada you memang hak you. You Layak dan patutnya still ADUN untuk several terms.Bropun rasa pelajaran tinggi di University yang gahpun atas kepandaian sendiri dan biasiswa kerajaan yang diberikan adalah hak you mendapatnya.In short, seperti yang you cakap UMNO yang berhutang budi kepada kita orang Melayu.Ini macam ayat anak derhaka yang merasakan memang bapanya mesti beri dia segala kemudahan pelajaran, makan minum etc.And you as a good father do not expect anything from them since it is your responsibility as a loving father.Saya rasa tu salah. Even when I was in elementary school, my teacher Mrs Penelli Pandreas keep telling us good deeds must be returned. Kindness begets kindness.In all honesttly I have not seen Malays begging from UMNO. It's UMNO who wants to help them.The only ones begging are the rich ones which include the nons who want mega projects from UMNO.The Malay vote the government in gratitude for the good things they get from the government.And I would like to ask, will the DAP return your kindness by giving you and Aspan seats to contest and make you ministers or PM or DPM if Pakatan wins Putra Jaya?Do you not think there will be jealousy and rumblings among the Warlords, God Fathers, small lords, small dogs, coochie rats there who resent two Malay newcomers jupmping over their heads and getting plum jobs?I am sure you don't want to join DAP as a regular foot-soldier to champion their cause.You will not gain much but they will gain from you in having credible Malay face to dispel their chauvinistic leanings.They now only have Zairil who has not a drop of Malay blood. Pak Kir was his step-father.And I am sure you know all is not smooth sailing and DAP is not at all goody two shoes.There is corruption, back-stabbing, intrigue like other parties too. And the sad thing is for what --can they rule this country?I give you the most 3 years and you will be disillusioned and slither back into UMNO. Trust me.Everything about you shouts UMNO, my dear brother.

What CikGu Ngah, Anon 8.52 and Anon 9.51 said represent the voices from the Malays in UMNO and Chinese in the DAP think about you.Ini juga dicakap oleh sedara mara saya dari Raub, Lepeh, Temerloh, Rompin, Pekan dan Kuantan cakap bila dia orang bicang tentang Sakmongkol mask DAP.They said they can vote for you if you stand as an independent or PAS.But as DAP candidate, sorry.MALAYS DO NOT FEAR DAP, THEY HATE DAP. Period.

Your previous article attracted 110 postings, which must be a record. That shows how much interest there is in your joining the DAP.

It must be quite heart-rending for someone like you or any upright Malay politician brought up in the original idealism of UMNO to abandon “the party of the Malays” to join a party that UMNO has demonized for decades as the party that is out to oppress the Malays, marginalize Islam, and destroy the monarchy; and at the same time promote Chinese dominance and ascendency.

I am glad that you have discovered that all those UMNO allegations against the DAP are false. It was UMNO that had lost its innocence and idealism. Its control over the Malay mind, and its near monopoly on political power has led it astray. Power has corrupted it absolutely. 54 years ago, the Malays were behind the Chinese, and now despite 54 continuous years of control over the government, the Malays are still lagging behind the Chinese.

We do not want this situation to continue. It can only increase social inequality and racial tension. But change will only come if the Malays are brave enough to abandon UMNO to seek an alternative government. But fear of the unknown is a powerful force holding the Malays back. That is why they need thought-leaders like yourself and Aspan Alias to first jump into the water to show them that it is safe for them to also abandon ship.

PR cannot govern without good UMNO Malays joining them. They need you and many more like you, so that the alternative government will have enough talented and able people to govern effectively from Day One. UMNO may well end up as Golkar of Indonesia, which at its height controlled some 75% of all seats in parliament, but today has less than 15%. Political parties are not like mountains – permanent, immutable and virtually indestructible. A political party is merely a receptacle for the idealism and aspirations of the people. When the flame of idealism subsides, and the aspirations of its people are neglected in favour of the interests of its corrupt leaders, the party will implode. This is what is happening to UMNO.

I wish you and Aspan the very best in the hazardous journey ahead. Your political fight is a fight for all Malaysians, not just the Malays. You have the intellectual acuity, integrity and political fire to go far. Good luck!

At least DrM is brave enough to admit. In fact through out history, UMNO has undergone various transformation and make tough and mature decisions :-Sacking of Anwar, admissions of ex S46 and best of all, kicked its own president cum PM.

You don't get this in other parties. They are too rigid, paranoid and afraid of admitting own mistakes. Its never their bad.

There will always be problems within UMNO, be it rotten ones, but it will always evolve better than any other.

Well good luck if you are joining DAP.Pretty sure you'll outshine LGE, LKS & Karpal.And you know what will happen to those shinning stars in DAP. They'll send a rocket to blow u up!!

Dear Dato,you are always an inspiration,your writings and thought.your earlier writing about Umno and it's transformation has not been appreciated. I sincerely believe your decision in joining DAP is your last resort to for the real transformation for the country. Welcome Sir.you will be a catalyst for change which the nation waits.

All the names you mentioned are a minority of diehards like you or paid cybers.Do not forget who fought for the underaged schoolgirl who was raped by your Umno's Thamby Chiku.And why did the girl's grandmother reached out to LGE from DAP and not Umnoputras from your beloved Umno.Because Umnoputras lack balls or have no batangs.It is a fact.Cheers buddy.

I don't understand this DAP Malaysian first clarion call which is supported by many here. How can you believe Malaysian first when you also believe in segregating our children from young into different races. Then expect them to put race last when adult? Totally illogical.Then argue they support mother tounge education. But in essence they support only selected races mother tounge (guess who). They never fought for ibanese sikhs muruts kadazans kelantanese mother tounge etc etc. But con people they believe in mother tounge education.Dap action from day one shows they never put Malaysian first. This hypocrisy shows their true character.

Happy New Year, Dato.I am most surprised that so many people commented on your perceived decisions. I believed you should allow all comments including vulgar or indecent (as long as non race hate comment). We may then see many more panicky umno cyber trooper trying to please their paymaster.

By the way, I read most of your blogs and the accompanying comments and noted that all those who dispute your opinions almost always did so in the most uncouth manners (kurang ajar). Cannot be upbringing as most kampong elders that i know are very courteous folks so it must be the poor education (Bad Talk Nasional) they received which made them not able to express in a civil way like Dato do.

Keep up the good work and best wishes to you and family in this new 2012.

Here's to the best 2012 for you. It rings sweet music for you guys with the entrance of Sakmongkol into your favorite DAP.Can't wait to see you cry with the demise of ABU soon. But I promise you, you have my big shoulders to cry on. What are friends for, right.I honestly like Sak and I want him to flourish wherever he is. Of course I want him to be in UMNO. To fight from within.It started with that. But with the applause from ABU lovers, he was so enervated and hard to retrack. Terlanjur cakap, terlanjur perahu like the Malays said. So where can gostan.So might as well go the whole hog.But he will soon find out that the DAP culture is far far frustrating from the UMNO culture.You can never find finer gentlemen than UMNO guys. You are comfortable with them. They are not hypocrites. Unlike Anu-War who pretend to be alim but really is Syaitan. That's why he never fits in there.Bruno, let's not turn Sak's blog into Din Merican, Harris or Zorro's blog where only Anu-war lickers are pals. Allow everyone to say their piece and Sak is capable enough to lambast them. That's the UMNO spirit. Do not dub pro-UMNO commentators as paid cyber-troopers. Did we ever say you are paid PKR trolls when Sak's blog was firstly an UMNO blog. But it evolved into pro-PKR with so many of you cheering him to be anti-BN.If you noticed, we are the same people here with the exception of newcomers who now want to be here since Sak is now a DAP cadre.It's interesting to read UMNO blogs because they allow dissenters and reply vulgarities with vulgarities.

Cikgu Ngah

Apa yang Cikgu cakap tu betul sekali. Saya sama macam Cikgu yang mempunyai best interest Sak at heart.Sakmongkol will find himself in alien waters. He cannot be too motor-mouth in DAP like he did to UMNO. He has to grin and bear it if he wants everlasting stay in DAP.UMNO leaders can tolerate people critizing them in their face. But try doing that to the two gods there and Godfathers. You mouth will be velcroed or you get a walking certificate.He will be like in Beijing or North Korea.You can never be too smart with the two dear leaders there or forever you will be an outcast.Itu belum lagi ber-interaksi dengan PAS dan Keadilan yang lain-lain kepala.It makes into a flower-bomb. Nampak cantik, tetapi amat memedihkan.

are the best words to describe both of you. whether you like it or not, that is another chapter.

i think both of you like dreaming while u were in umno also the same. read many books and like dreaming. dream about ideal state and dreaming about melayu reaction in multi culture state. hheehe..

you do work less but dreaming. if u really do your work, of course you will have many supporters who support and know you. but the fact is you are not popular and nobody knows about you. and nobody cares whether tomorrow you want to join mic or makkal sakti...hehehe

Ellese, Malaysian is not a race but a national identity. We are Malaysian because we are born in Malaysia. We study mother tongue is because we value our ethnic value and what is wrong with it? What is wrong if as a malaysian we can speak many languages? We also read malaysian history in our mother tongue so when we grow up we can be as malaysian as anyone but on the other hand during our developing years we are exposed to so many discrimination just because we were not born with clutches, so what do you expect one to feel? To be thankful for the discrimination, yes, it make us stronger but to the GOM, no, because the feeling is mutual.DAP is promoting certain race mother tongue because this certain race mother tongue is being discriminated by GOM.Who went to the aid of an under age girl who was raped by some one of her own race? Is it not DAP? He even goes to jail for it because he believe justice for every one.

Wow, some people get annoyed being called "umno cyber trooper" and I wonder which word in that phrase is offensive to them. Normally people who are guilty or of inferiority complex gets angry pretty fast.

On the face of it, it looks like a good move - having a more multi ethnic DAP (remember DAP already has a sizable indian particpation). If your intentions are pure - go for it. Who says the life of a pioneer is easy?

Dato' Sak, you write good punch lines and some good points over and over again. But you always miss the punt of moving forward. Except for the C4 thing which I find it offensive and stupid. You always stuck in the past. I understand the problems in UMNO. You should see that there are also many graduates in UMNO who want to make changes, but you should know that pareto's law is always at work in any party. There is always the 20% going up against the other 80%. And the graduates always think they are smart ones, but always fail to convince the other 80% when delivering their points. They lack networking within the party themselves.The 'Smart ones' are not really smart, they only rely on their paper certificates. I am dissapointed that you gave up like many others. The 'jihad' is in the struggle not in the winning. DAP since day 1 are against the special position of the Malays. So it is no logic why you should join them. UMNO reformers need good strategies and networking. There are many but no one is networking them. I suggest you form an inner circle of those in UMNO who wants to contribute and shoula act in tandem. Rather than you working alone. I will never betray the constitution of UMNO and joining other party.

Hi buddy,a Happy New Year 2012 to you too.Paid cybers I was referring to anons using rudeness or vulgarities.The reason about my mentioning your beloved Thamby Chiku and who fought for the Malay girl who was raped by him was for you and diehards like you to weigh which party had better principles.

If your beloved Umno or Umnoputras cannot or have no balls to fight for justice for any Malaysians regardless of race,because the prepetrator is an Umno stalwart then it has no business to called itself the champions of who?Sometimes the truth does hurt.Cheers and sleep easy,buddy.

Wah Datuk, i pun terbeliak when news circulated around you masuk DAP. but what the hell - go in and make the party multiracial and concentrate on making Malaysia great. If you can do that Datuk, i am pretty sure your name will be like the lightning rod for a better progressive Malaysia. Wow still terperanjat man. Imagine if Tengku Razaleigh masuk DAP. Habislah UMNO.

You are blinded by partisanship and unable to see that you are perpetuating racial prejudices and tendencies. You can't even see that DAP from day one had fought for Chinese interest rather than Malaysian first interest.When I was young I had two best friends from two other races. We grew up together laugh together understand our differences and learn to empathize with another.Now My children has absolutely no friends from other races (one has one other race friend in class) in mind you urban schools. If we deny our children to interact with one another for whatsoever reason be it on ground of mother tounge or religion how do you expect our kids to empathize and grow together. Thus anyone supporting separation and segregation of our kids has never had Malaysian first in mind. Anyone who support only one race mother tounge thinking it's superior must be racist. And if one supports mother tounge education of one race but do not support other people's mother tounge ie to have hundreds types of fragmented sekolah kebangsaan for different mother tounge is certainly an utter racists for the hypocritical stand.Hope i Have made myself clear. DAP is certainly racists at core and does not put Malaysian first for afraid of losing the Chinese votes.Dare Sak to put this core and basic stand to DAP and it's supporters. And we will see how many justify this racists actions. If DAP condemns UMNO's actions as racist notwithstanding any historical or constitutional reasons given, how can it justify using mother tounge as an excuse for racists stand. Why are both justifications which stand on the same parity have different value in justifying racists actions.

Sak,i can read you.It appears like you have no choice but leave UMNO now which will be the best option for you at this time as election is looming over our head.You tried to push KU Li as a possible alternative PM in the event PR secure Putrajaya.Ku Li was rejected by at least 90% of those in the recent Yahoo articles by both the Gomen and the PR supporters,a useful sampling.You lost there .You too predicted a wipe out for BN in this coming PRU 13.This i doubt very much.It is for us to see soon.Its your view and predictions against mine anyway.Now this controversial news of you joining and/or planning to be with DAP and dump UMNO.Yes,make a stand you must.

Bruno ,Nick and the DAP supporters here will jump for joy if you do jump ship..They have been your ardent supporters,shiook sendiri and failing to see reality of the majority Rakyat across the country.DAP struggle shall remain DAP struggle.If you share its struggle just go for it.The keyword here is party STRUGGLE. It will be a comeback for your political career assuming DAP will be accepted by the majority rakyat.Sak,you cannot cut the cake and eat it.We will respect you more if you make a stand.You have nothing to loose personally but a lot to gain politically and pocketwise because those rich DAP tycoons will be behind you and blogging don't give money and improve your material well being anyway.This is your last call before you close your eyes. Depending very much on how you wish to be remembered when you leave this world.Remember the PERJUANGAN dan ingat sentiasa memohon petunjuk darinya dan tidak mengikut perasaan marah dan FITNAH yang terlalu banyak di blog ini.UMNO will loose a good brain who could have contributed from within the party to correct any wrongs within UMNO and you as a good politician had that oppurtunity not me. You choose bashing UMNO through your blog.This is indeed a true freedom in democratic Malaysia and is very satisfying and self fulfilling right.Good luck in your decision .Thank you

promoting a mother tongue education doesn't mean that it is superior to other mother tongues. bear in mind approx. 10% of the students in chinese vernacular schools are non-chinese. i'm sure they are there for other reasons than thinking mandarin is superior to their mother tongues.

anyway if this is what u call racist what about those who champion that one race has more rights than the other??? of course u can say IT'S ALL IN THE CONSTITUTION!..well, rights for vernacular education is in the CONSTITUTION as well..

pre-merdeka and in the 60's most chinese would send their kids to english schools, in the 80's while i was schooling it was probably 50/50 mix..nowadays u hardly see chinese in an srk. hell sometimes u'll see more malays in an srjk than chinese in an srk.

so why the shift? it's partially due the demand for proficiency in mandarin caused by china's economic boom. it's partly due to our government's inability to upkeep the standards of srk's. and of course it's partly due to racial sentiments. there's many reasons here so blaming one party won't solve it.

dap is not the only one supporting vernacular schools. mca is a big champion as well. u said dap is afraid of losing the chinese votes so they support chinese schools. what about mca? so the problem is in the chinese? why not u start telling them to quit srjks and start embracing srk instead.

i think the chinese is the core of the problem. i think they should stop identify themselves as chinese but as malaysians. in fact everyone should. stop chinese/tamil schools, stop racial quotas in local unis, stop racial quotas in government scholarships, stop having one race only mara unis, stop racial quotas n discounts in home ownerships, stop racial based political parties, felda, chinese chamber of commerce, hua zhong, dongjiaozhong, perkasa, or any other racially inclined organisations/groups. do that and u'll see your kids mingle with other races.

but of course we can't do that, there's the CONSTITUTION and ARTICLE 153!!! we'll here we go again. vernacular schools are in the CONSTITUTION as well..

Hi AK47,Looks like the paid cyber troopers had changed tactics. Now they are using soft approach. Your joining DAP will make it more multiracial. Don't let anyone fool you psychologically. DAP is evolving and should not be judged based on history. We look to the presence and the future, what these political parties can offered for the people and country. No point in dwelling the past, the past is past. What good is it to hold on to a corrupted party which is leading the country to bankruptcy. You should know how big the problem is since you are from the ruling. I just want to ask you a question, are you able to make any changes if you stay with the ruling? If yes, won't it have happen, any improvement or getting worse? Anyone know why the country debt is so high and keep on expanding? Check with the country's auditor on how the procurements are done? How many times above market price? A growing debt means more money is needed to be paid as interest to service the debt. Look at Greece and you will see what interest means. The debt is so massive that servicing the debt alone is straining the country and it still need to borrow.In US, they have a huge debt, yes the biggest in the world but they owned the US currency and so they can print money but there's a consequence,the value of the US dollar drop and the consequence is inflation. Bear in mind, the US is the world's biggest currency and it can afford to print currency but our country can't afford to print money as we are not a big country in term of financial strength. If we print currency, it will lead to hyperinflation. What is hyperinflation? It means that things that we buy using our currency will increase by a lot. Normally, a country which is in huge debt will borrow money first and if it can't borrow money due to bad credit rating, it will print money. Govt throughout the world borrow money by issuing bonds. There are many type of bonds. Basically you can say that the govt issue bonds and will pay an interest for it. When it mature, it will have to redeem the bond by paying back the amount in full. For countries,generally speaking,they won't go bankrupt. The reason is because they can default on the debt. Default is actually indirectly saying it is bankrupt. However, the problem with default is that your credit worthiness will be reduce to zero and nobody will loan you money and when a country default, nobody will dare invest in that country. In Greece, the govt is selling assets to service the debt and cutting budget and pension benefits. In the end, it lead to shrinking of the economy and high unemployment. So what lead to this? The answer is corruption. The old school of thoughts saying spending to spur economy growth is more of shifting goal post. In the end, you still need to face the music. We have bunch of examples in Europe. Reason why people buy things many times above the market could be due to benefits or ignorance. For this to happen, it means incompetency and structural control weakness. Why the incompetency? Because you choose the wrong people for the task. Why structural control weakness? Because of flaw in the system. If it is not your money, you don't care. The debt level of a country judge the efficiency and competency of a govt. It speak for itself. There's no need to debate on this. The fact is already there.I guess some may try to act dumb by comparing it with countries in even worse predicament. If they do, you know what is their IQ.Our country is now facing many problems, from top to bottom and to change this is virtually impossible but not impossible. It will happen through evolution which means time is needed. A country will always evolve but it takes time and sacrifices.

I agree with the opinion of one of the replier on feudalism. There's indeed elements of feudalism. Where should the country be heading, should the status quo remain or should we have representatives who work for the people as the worker or the opposite. The people have to decide on this. For those paid cyber troopers, I know you are paid and I don't blame you all as it is your job but I hope that when election comes, please do what is best for the country and vote with your conscience rather than personal interest. Your vote alone will determine the future of your children, grandchildren and even your great grandchildren, some whom you may never see. In fact I have ideas on how to reform the country and if the opposition every come into power, I promise I will submit my proposal to them.

Been away for a while and here back to read some of your commenters posts.

As usual Queit Dispair continues to be a desperate person pretending to be logical and what's not with his totally shallow and nonsensical posts. Well, it is true, once you are BTN brained Wash for decades from the time of TDM, that numskull will remain numskull hardened to the core.

We can easily rebute every of his comments and remarks ..but then what is the use.

DAP racist bullack .. talk like a child. ..

This goes to Ellise too using narrow minded argument on mother tongues usage. He is definitely a typical UMNO Malay and knows ONLY his world of Mother tongue as though learning BM is not Mother tongue too.

bro arif,its not a big deal to join any political party. this is democracy country and you can choose whatever party you likes. even you can form a new communist party if the government allow you to do that. just to bear in mind, to love or to hate is a matter of decision!

Thanks to the stupid who credited LKS of DAP for promoting Chinese mother tongue education. This means many non chinese who were educated in chinese type school must said a big thank you to uncle lim. And mind you some of these open minded malays are actually doing very well in multi national companies posted to China.When your children don't have friends of other race please don't blame it on the chinese mother tongue education. Look at how you brought up them up, if you send them to religious class or you your self teach them not to mingle with people of different race or religion because theirs are not clean, not true religion and not this and not that of cause they dare not make friend with others.

Then don't take the moral highground others are racists and DAP is not and promote Malaysian first.

You guys should know that to unite we must grow up together from young. This is número UNO. Only then you can emphasize and understand the other.

If you agree that we all should be allowed mother tounge education, it would follow that we would have probably hundreds type of sekolah jenis kebangsaan of various mother tounges. We would disenfranchise and fragment our education. What's worse we will further propagate racial segregation and sectarians. One even justify there's 10% non Chinese in Chinese schools and this justify our racial mix. How can this be?

Not many realize this mother tounge argument is merely another reason segregating us racially. It is not putting Malaysian first. Not many realize by sending kids to these schools they perpetuate these racial segregation and racists prejudices and tendencies.

If you're truly non racists and put Malaysian first, do the right thing opposing these apartheid race structure. Demand it from DAP. The argument of mca UMNO etc do the same only lend further credence you're justifying your racists attitude. You demand others to be non racists but you yourself perpetuate these racists act. Demand the same. Otherwise our country will remain stagnant.

Haha education is not going to stop the country from going forward. CORRUPTION and CRONYISM do.If the education system is fair and excellent then we don't need to promote mother tongue education.If you also learn my language then you can integrate better with me. The racial segregation is not due to the mother tongue education it is the umno gom's bumi-only policy which is segregating the people.And now it is even segregating the umno bumi from the non umno bumi.100 types of JK school, why not if there are sufficient students to make up school. Do you know there are classes taught in kadasan in sabah? You might not like to admit it but just look at our neighbor down south, their student learn English with a mother tongue of choice as 2nd language and their country is not "stagnant" as compared with MALAYSIA.

"i think the chinese is the core of the problem. i think they should stop identify themselves as chinese but as malaysians. in fact everyone should. stop chinese/tamil schools, stop racial quotas in local unis, stop racial quotas in government scholarships, stop having one race only mara unis, stop racial quotas n discounts in home ownerships, stop racial based political parties, felda, chinese chamber of commerce, hua zhong, dongjiaozhong, perkasa, or any other racially inclined organisations/groups. do that and u'll see your kids mingle with other races."

Ellese,do you know the sjkc almost died of natural death during the late 60's and early 70's.The schools population drops so drastic that per class has about 15 students,the reason is the national school are taugh in English and as you know chinese are very practicle as is a universal and had more advantage.Than come Mahathir,that where the education in Malaysia starts going down the drain until today.Do uou know to change the education system,it takes i whole generation of student to see the results? i.e from std 1 till university(18 years)Here in Malaysia everytime a new Education Ministercomes,new policy,new system sampai yua pun tak progress.My 1st child was in sekolah kebangsaan,know what,chik gu asyik meeting saja,very little homework and worst so many religous function till I got worried.All my children now in sjkc,no worries because the school are strictly for educations,no more religous ,races craps and what not.Try to be more open minded will you?Jangan macam katak bawah tempurung,and looks at your own races before blaming others.

welcome to DAP officially. But always stick to your principles. In the political world, it is so easy to get mired with the dirt once one gets into power. Dont be infatuated with power but to use it wisely for the people.
